Last Orphan Of The Truth

Kurt Philip Behm 

In the middle—the center,
  a bullseye did hide

Its heart bleeding red,
  to target the lies

It cried out for justice,
  it cried out in pain

Until an arrow struck deeply,
  truth firmly ingrained

Its point forced its power,
 its shaft driving home

A message of hope,
 into falsehood atoned
 
And deep in your memory,
  a last orphan screams

Renamed in the vengeance,
—rebirthed in this dream
